INDIE-GRAPHY.

they say, photography is like music.
it is FREEDOM.



photography isn't just about the techniques or what camera you use, but it is about the moment that you want to capture and the feelings that you want to share to the world.
the SPONTANEITY of the photographer, for me, matters most and
NOT the camera nor the course that a person took just to, you know, learn about how to take a picture properly.

anyone can be a photographer. anyone can take a photograph using their mobile phones, digital cameras or even DSLRs but it takes, you know, PASSION to be able to relate to everyone what you took, what you felt the moment you took the picture, and just the admiration of that certain moment.

the MANIPULATOR.

MICHAEL VINCENT MANALO

"I love life. I want to remember every emotion that I've felt, the feelings that I've experienced, and the faces that I've seen. I would like to share these to the world too. That is what drew me to photography, unlike any other style of art, the photos that a photographer takes captures a moment which hopefully will forever be remembered. However, if I can't find the perfect place or the perfect spot or if my subconscious tries to convey a much more deeper feeling, I try to create that world through digital art."

my MODEL.

LORAINE GAILLE KYAMKO
she's my six year old cousin who has a knack in posing and is as vain as any of you. she loves dressing up.

a BRUSH is to CAMERA.

ALYSSA MONKS

i came across with Ms. Monks' works through this website, www.stewpig.com. at first i thought her paintings were taken using a professional camera not until i saw the description. i was really in awe, well, until now i'm still in awe. I really find her works really interesting, how she's into details(even the dirt on one of her model's nails. COOL, right?)

i was trying to look for any common denominator with her paintings and i observed that she's into this whole shower/water thing and nudity-as-art. She captured the moments realistically, the sensuality, the innocence, and everything in between PERFECTLY.

VolksWagen: Vintage Wonder.

photo by nickonken

Apart from being the most produced car ever, this 'beetle' is, well, the BEST car I've ever wanted. It may not have the features a BMW could offer but it oozes this feeling of coolness in a calm and simple manner unlike those overly $ex$pen$sive$ cars that most 18 year - old could wish for. I saw one beetle which was a convertible one just across the street where we live in and i find it interesting but the thing is, how can a convertible beetle be safe in the streets of cebu/mandaue when robbery here is rampant? :(

i guess it is just alright as long as I'll have ONE. :)
